Emergency Preparedness Around

The ,Rancho Seco Nuclear Powerplant:

A Case Study



At the request of Representative Robert T.
Matsui, GAO evaluated emergency prepared-
ness' around the Rancho Seco nuclear power-
plant, located in California about halfway be-
tweon Sacramento and Stockton, and found
that:

    --State and county emergency plans have
    been developed based on Nuclear Regu-
    latory Commission criteria; however,
    these plans have only been tested on a
    limited basis.

    Local authorities would need State and
    Federal assistance to handle a major
    nuclear emergency.

    'Local residents have not been period-
    ically informed of emergency evacua-
    tion procedures.

    Given the worst possible accident, not
    all of the potentially affected counties
    would have adequate emergency plans.
